Optimization tool keeps running !

Hey all,

Our team is trying to build a solution which prioritizes projects using the optimization tool. However, depending on the nature of the constraints the model eithers computes something in 5 mins or just keeps running (8+ hrs and nothing).It doesn't make sense because there is no increase in the number of variables but just a change in the value of constraints. Is this normal? And is there anyway we can see what is happening in the background ? Thanks in advance !

Apologies for not sharing the config earlier. Using the symphony solver (since I read the same article earlier saying it is more efficient at mixed integer programs)
